I wanted to share a wonderful poem I use as part of my Samhain ritual. It is soooo beautiful it makes me cry everytime I read or recite it. So here it is and as always dedicated to all of my loved ones who have passed.

Upon Each Samhain

I miss you most upon each SamhainWhen the boundary turns to sheerI wait until the veil is partedAt the ending of the year.Sweet spirit, as you walk among usAt the tolling of this eveI see your face beyond the sunsetAnd hear your voice upon the breeze.In the glowing of the candle,From the shadow on the wall I watch for you in every movementAnd hear your footsteps in the hall.Can you sit and spend the eveningAs the portal opens wide?Ancestral dead, I bid you welcomeMost recent dead, I pray, abide. When you come I sense your presenceI put my hand out in the airA moment, then, we stand unitedPalm to palm while waiting there.I miss you most upon each SamhainWhen the boundary turns to sheerWe share these hours until the dawningThen bid farewell until next year.
